Overview
This HTS category encompasses the roe of sea urchins, specifically those belonging to the genus *Strongylocentrotus*, as well as *Paracentrotus lividus*, *Loxechinus albus*, and *Echinus esculentus*. The classification applies to the roe in its live, fresh, or chilled state. This means the product has undergone minimal processing and retains its natural moisture content, without the preservation methods associated with frozen, dried, salted, brined, or smoked products.
Within the broader classification of "Sea urchins... Live, fresh or chilled," this specific subheading distinguishes the roe from the whole sea urchin or other edible parts of the sea urchin that might be classified elsewhere. The sibling category, "Other," is reserved for sea urchin products that are live, fresh, or chilled but are not roe. This distinction hinges on the specific part of the sea urchin being imported or exported.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to subdivide this classification. Therefore, classification within this code depends solely on identifying the product as sea urchin roe that is live, fresh, or chilled. Proper documentation and clear product identification are crucial to ensure accurate classification under this subheading.
